Hey guys
How fast does light mover moves? I'm building a light mover, and would like to know what pattern to program it for.
My light rail is a straight aluminum L-shaped rail, mounted like this: \/
in the grove rides a little cart with 2 wheels with 2 sensors and a controller. Cart is balanced by weight of the light.
As soon as one of the sensors detects a hit (mover hits a wall or a stopper) controller reverses direction and keeps going.
Bottom line is: it takes 3 hrs for my light to move from one side to another.
There are total 6 moves in 18hr light cycle.
I can reprogram this mover to do any pattern and timing.
Is this a good timing?
If not - suggest a better one
Thanks
